We want everyone in society to have quick and easy access to counselling and psychotherapy, free at the point of need, through the NHS. This includes having an informed choice about the care they receive from a wide range of evidence based interventions.

We want to see more employment opportunities within the healthcare systems of the UK for counsellors and psychotherapists and are committed to promoting the skills, experience and expertise of our members, while combating further marginalisation of counselling and psychotherapy within the NHS.
